According to Glazer, Whitworth’s ACL and tibia are intact, but he unfortunately has a torn MCL and PCL.

The plan is for Whitworth to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity of his knee injury.

Whitworth, 38, is a former second-round pick of the Bengals back in 2006. He spent 11 years in Cincinnati before signing a three-year, $33.75 million contract that included $15 million guaranteed with the Rams in 2017.

Whitworth made a base salary of $10.25 million for the 2019 season. The Rams brought him back on a three-year extension this past March. 

In 2020, Whitworth has appeared in nine games for the Rams and started all of them at left tackle.
